At Medusa Apothecary, we believe there is no time<br />
like the present when it comes to becoming more<br />
sustainable, ethical and in-tune with the elements<br />
that make up the environment in which we live and<br />
the substance of our being. During the first lockdown,<br />
we created ‘<strong>The</strong> Elements’, Medusa Apothecary’s<br />
signature therapies. Created out of love just for you,<br />
‘<strong>The</strong> Elements’ have been designed to ground, rebalance,<br />
energise and instil an ultimate sense of well-being within<br />
your very core. Your journey begins with the selection<br />
of an affirmation rune that will be interwoven in your<br />
therapy and drawn onto your body in magical tree<br />
essences. A hand-blended mix of herbs is then smudged<br />
to purify you, the tools and the space. All elemental<br />
therapies are tailored with pre-blended oils and essences<br />
to your affirmation and chosen element. At the end<br />
of your journey, all treatments are concluded with a<br />
bespoke mix of herbs and flowers in a tea infusion.<br />
Earth - to ground and centre.<br />
A clearing of barriers between body and earth to<br />
ground you and make you feel more present and ‘in the<br />
moment’. We begin with an exfoliation of the legs<br />
and feet followed by a full body mud mask, wrap and<br />
weighted blanket (like a great big muddy hug). After<br />
showering away the mud, you’ll enjoy a full body<br />
massage to pummel away your stresses and strains.<br />
Air - like walking on fluffy clouds.<br />
This bespoke treatment will revitalise your legs and feet.<br />
By using a combination of hand-blended products, we<br />
will cleanse, tone and nourish your pins and tootsies,<br />
leaving you feeling like you’re walking on air. <strong>The</strong> Air<br />
treatment includes a brisk body brush followed by a salt<br />
scrub up to the glutes. After the scrub, your feet will<br />
enjoy a nourishing treatment with heated booties. This<br />
will conclude with a lower body massage with a specially<br />
selected blend of ‘air’ infused oils.<br />
Fire - to clear the dead wood.<br />
If you’re seeking an invigorated version of yourself, this<br />
will help you shed your yesterdays and emerge anew. A<br />
brisk full body scrub (mixed just for you with a unique<br />
recipe of essential oils) to buff away dead skin cells is<br />
followed by a hot stone massage to nourish, tone and<br />
centre.<br />
Water - to reshape and hydrate.<br />
A blissed-out upper body treat. Wash away your stress<br />
with an Ayurvedic hydro-dhara essential oil infusion<br />
trickled slowly onto the scalp, followed by a divine Indian<br />
head massage to erode the troubles that ail you. Our<br />
targeted facial massage will lift and smooth, using our<br />
West Country-created lotions and potions to nourish and<br />
rebalance. This wonderful facial treatment is topped off<br />
with a blow dry to make you look as fabulous as you feel.<br />
Spirit - love your beautiful self.<br />
Spirit is a full mind, body and soul treatment. We<br />
smudge to remove any negativity before realigning your<br />
chakras to encourage a smooth flow of energy through<br />
your body’s meridian pathways. You will experience a full<br />
body massage using rose essentials oils, crystals and<br />
the healing power of touch to realign, comfort and uplift.<br />
A truly blissful experience help you to realise a more<br />
beautiful you.<br />
In line with the WEF’s ‘Great Reset’ (the rebuilding<br />
of society and the economy in a more sustainable<br />
way following the COVID-19 pandemic), we at Medusa<br />
Apothecary are doing everything we can to ensure<br />
we make minimal impact on our environment while<br />
adhering to pandemic restrictions and maintaining the<br />
highest standards of health hygeine. Our hair salon<br />
uses products that are ethical, have recycled and<br />
recyclable packaging and are concocted with crueltyfree,<br />
‘nasty’-free, organic and biodynamic ingredients.<br />
We are also a proud member of the Green Salon<br />
Collective, meaning we recycle our hair clippings to help<br />
clean up petrochemical spills; compost our aluminium<br />
foil and colour tubes to create new metals; and our<br />
colour waste is spun into its different compounds and<br />
repurposed. When it comes to the PPE required during<br />
all treatments, we use only compostable hair gowns,<br />
gloves and cleaning materials.<br />
To book your treatment, please call 01305 260888 or<br />
